Lapatza, Shingle beach in Elantxobe, Spain.
The 140-meter-long Lapatza beach features a natural composition of pebbles and rocks along the Biscay coastline, bordered by steep cliffs and mountains.
The beach stands as a testament to the geological evolution of the Basque Coast, where centuries of wave action shaped the characteristic pebble formations.
Local fishermen from Elantxobe and Ea municipalities have long used this stretch of coastline as a reference point for navigation and fishing activities.
Visitors can access the beach via the BI-3238 road, with parking available near the shore, though swimming is recommended only for experienced individuals due to strong currents.
The beach maintains its natural state without artificial modifications, presenting a rare example of untouched shingle formations in northern Spain.
